She is now working on her book, GRIEF: A now-age manifesto. The book will be a modern look at grief, with afterlife research, evidence, mediumship, and everything we have learned about the afterlife. All of us suffer grief at some point in our lives, but grief can be the doorway to understanding the afterlife, In the period of grief, we rethink our lives and the lives of those we love. In this presentation, Arizona explores grief seen through the lens of afterlife research and afterlife discoveries. Arizona is a certified grief coach, so she brings insights to the topic that are enlightening for participants.
